“You have a choice. Live or die.Every breath is a choice. Every minute is a choice. Every time you don't throw yourself down the stairs, that's a choice. Every time you don't crash your car, you re-enlist.”
― Chuck Palahniuk, Survivor

Ugh! All the fans of Mitch Hedberg, do not see the appeal at all. And, he is even a Minnesota boy, but I just don't enjoy his humor. eta: Maybe it isn't so much his humor that I don't enjoy, but it is his delivery, can't bear to listen to him talk.

Mitch might be a generational or culture thing - I found his humor both funny and compelling, sort of like Steven Wright, but not as dry. I'm not a big Gaffigan fan or Rock - but I'm sure they are funny because a lot of people like them. Stewart (and his protege's like Colbert) are hilarious. Comedy is like music I guess, that's why there is such a variety.

Don't keep dancing with the Devil and wonder why you are still in Hell.

It's all shits and giggles until someone giggles and shits.

Richard Pryor (RIP), Chris Rock, Dave Chappelle, Paul Mooney, Mike Epps, Lisa Lampanelli (her Long Live the Queen HBO special still brings me to tears, Lunelle, Kat Williams before he snapped out, Alex Thomas. Kevin Hart has his moments but he's not consistently funny. The same goes for George Lopez - they're funny, just not on the same level as the ones listed above, IMO.
